The Developmental Progression Of Cognitive Abilities In Deaf Children, Jacqueline N. Wunderlich May 2017

The Developmental Progression Of Cognitive Abilities In Deaf Children, Jacqueline N. Wunderlich

Undergraduate University Honors Capstones

Although there has been a copious amount of research on deaf children’s language acquisition and academic abilities, our knowledge concerning the development of nonverbal cognitive functioning in this population remains limited. The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF) is a commonly used neuropsychological tool for the assessment of visuospatial, visuoconstructional, visuomemory, and executive functioning abilities. As a language-reduced test, it seems ideal for use with deaf children. Previous studies using different scoring systems indicate that deaf children perform average to slightly above average on the ROCF compared with hearing youth. However, minimal normative data and established cognitive developmental patterns for deaf children …

Cochlear Implants And Related Neurotechnologies: Japanese Perspectives In Deaf Neuroethics, Zachary Clayton Abbott Dec 2016

Cochlear Implants And Related Neurotechnologies: Japanese Perspectives In Deaf Neuroethics, Zachary Clayton Abbott

Undergraduate University Honors Capstones

Asian neuroscience and neurotechnology (neuroS/T) research and development will surpass that of the United States and Europe, achieving a 60% increase in overall market growth, within the next decade. One area of ethical interest in neuroS/T involves auditory technologies: cochlear implants, middle ear prosthetics, bone-anchor hearing aids. A survey collected data on Japanese and U.S. attitudes of deafness as a disability, awareness of auditory technologies, and beliefs regarding psychosocial implications of such interventions. This survey is particularly timely because of shifts in attitudes toward these technologies and deaf identity between younger and older Japanese people in the direction of U.S. …


An Oral History Of Homophobic Bullying In All-Deaf Schools And Mainstream Schools: The Experiences Of Deaf Lesbian And Gay Persons, Andrew D. Biskupiak Nov 2016

An Oral History Of Homophobic Bullying In All-Deaf Schools And Mainstream Schools: The Experiences Of Deaf Lesbian And Gay Persons, Andrew D. Biskupiak

Undergraduate University Honors Capstones

Deaf lesbian and gay individuals encounter homophobic bullying when receiving their high school education at all-deaf and/or mainstream schools, yet their experiences of homophobic bullying continue to be insufficiently documented and reported in the existing literature. Using oral history interviews with ten deaf lesbian (n=4) and gay students (n=6) attending Gallaudet University, this report documents the interviewees’ personal narratives of homophobic bullying in high school and examines the prevalence and impact of verbal and physical abuses as two forms of homophobic bullying. Patterns involve geographic location and public versus private mainstream schools. Further research could address types of mainstream schools; …


Ghost Stories: Doing Philosophy Through Literature, Paige Foreman May 2016

Ghost Stories: Doing Philosophy Through Literature, Paige Foreman

Undergraduate University Honors Capstones

Ghost Stories is a collection of three short stories that all make philosophical arguments. I define philosophy as an activity of thought that aspires to inquire into the nature of existence. I believe there are many ways to express philosophical thoughts, and I do philosophy in story form. The title story, Ghost Stories, is a Christian theodicy responding to The Book of Job that argues God should be held responsible for evil that happens in the world and that humans have the power to forgive God. The Palaces of Memory illustrates a new theory of personal identity as well as …


Sign & Share: Full-Stack International Video Sharing Website, Shuxu Tian May 2016

Sign & Share: Full-Stack International Video Sharing Website, Shuxu Tian

Undergraduate University Honors Capstones

Inspired by VL2 bilingual story apps that focus on American Sign Language and English, this project provides a new application for sharing multi-lingual signed and written stories to a worldwide audience. VL2 story apps include only ASL and English, and are for purchase; VL2 also sells the code to develop stories in other languages, but the code requires technical expertise to use. My new app uses a special set of tools to allow sharing stories in any signed language and written forms of spoken languages without cost and without the need for technical expertise. Known as Sign and Share, this …


The White Church: A Young Adult Novel, Jenna Kaye Fox May 2016

The White Church: A Young Adult Novel, Jenna Kaye Fox

Undergraduate University Honors Capstones

I'm not going to lie; I still have nightmares. One moment Robert was kissing me, and the next he looked at [his wife] Shirley in the eyes and pulled the trigger. I saw the white church, the willow tree, and Shirley's grave. I heard Robert whisper, ‘devour’ against my hearing aid. It was all my fault. I blamed myself over and over.... Kate writes this wrenching confession in her diary. Her experiences with her pedophilic confirmation teacher had been haunting her until she finally gathered courage to fill blank pages with her thoughts and emotions. The young adult, epistolary novel …

Tip's Book Of Tips: Dating In Dc, August E. Shitama May 2015

Tip's Book Of Tips: Dating In Dc, August E. Shitama

Undergraduate University Honors Capstones

August Shitama’s collection of short stories is a bitingly frank look into the experiences of a deaf, gay college student navigating the dating world in Washington, DC. Written from some of Shitama’s own experiences, the stories could be considered semi-autobiographical, but with enough embellishments and changes to fit the satirical fiction genre. The critical introduction covers the influences for Shitama’s writing in regard to the theme and style, thematically from bestselling gay authors, David Sedaris and Augusten Burroughs as well as Deaf gay author Raymond Luczak, and stylistically from gay Deaf writer Derrick Behm as well as Shitama’s favorite satirical …
